When Geet woke up Maan, all dressed up, was wearing his shoes.
Aapko itni jaldi jaana tha aapne mujhe bataya kyu nai. I would have woken up earlier. She got up hurriedly. Mai abhi jaake breakfast ready karti hu.
No need. I had informed Nakul he would have prepared the breakfast by now.
Oh. Geet nodded. Maan still looked upset which he was because he didn't want to leave Geet but she thought it was because she stopped him last night.
After taking a quick bath, Geet came downstairs n served Maan. Dadimaa also joined them. Maan told that he wanted to take Jia with him. The tour was of four days n it could get prolonged if need arises. Jia wouldn't be able to stay away from him for that long. But Dadimaa was against it. Jia was small n all this travelling wasn't good for her upon that Maan would be busy with work, how will he take care of her? It was likely that both his work n Jia would suffer. So the better option was of Jia staying at home, it would be little problematic but she was sure with Geet it wouldn't be that tough n also mother-daughter would get more alone time. Jia depended too much on Maan and vice-versa.
Maan tried to make Dadimaa understand that he would take care of Jia but she was adamant n though he wanted to deny she had a fair point. Finally, he sullenly agreed. With that went his last support. No Geet n now no Jia too.
Jisko le jaana chahiye usko nai le jayenge. Dadimaa murmured.
Kya?
App Geet ko apne saath kyu nai le jaate?
What did Dadimaa think that the thought hadn't crossed his mind? Of course he wanted to take Geet with him but she showed no emotion while he told her he was leaving. Wo mere saath nai jayegi. Maan thought sadly.
Just with the mention of her going Geet instantly remembered about the room and she was dying to go there again. She had to read that letter too by Shreya. She had no idea why Shreya had kept it or if Maan had placed it there but surely Geet was restless to know why it was addressed to her. That letter had something important in it, the bells ringing in her weren't for nothing n with Maan gone she could read it in peace n without any fear of getting caught. Nai Dadimaa. Aapki tabiyat kharaab hai aur meri bhi. Mai aur Jia yahi rahenge saath me.
That was what he was afraid of, hearing a 'no'. Maan felt so dejected. She didn't want to go with him when it was the hardest thing for him to stay away from her. And how the hell he would sleep?
Geet came out to see him off. She didn't look up because she wasn't sure if he wanted her there. Maan stood with the car door open before him. She wasn't even looking at him. At least she could look up n spare him a tiny-miny smile. But no. Geet'
Haan'. She asked still not looking up n knotting her dubbatta.
Maan sighed, held her hand n pulled her to him. She collided with his chest n looked up taken aback. Before I leave, you have to promise me that you will not hurt yourself in anyway.
She smiled with teary eyes, extremely happy that he cared. Her head bobbled up n down as words again failed her. Hmm' He wasn't that sure if she would listen but she smiled and god, how beautiful she looked. Just four days Maan then you will be back. She saw his face nearing n thought he was going to kiss her. She so much wanted him to do that but he didn't kiss her lips n only pecked her forehead.
It wasn't much but she had no complaints. She would live the kiss again n again n pass the days. Although Geet was satisfied Maan wasn't but he knew if he kissed her now then leaving would become almost impossible.
Before Maan could sit in the car, Geet whispered hastily' Aap apna khayal rakhiyega. She blushed when he stared at her wide eyed n Maan just uttered a 'hmm' n left.
Good Morning Dadimaa. Rohan spoke yawning his way to the breakfast table. Has Maan left?
Haan Geet unhe see off karne gai hai bahar. Dadimaa said with a smile. There is improvement between them. At least they can stand in each other's company now. Rohan nodded absently. Aapko kya hua?
Don't even ask. He made a face pouring some juice.
Does this have something to do with Shanaya?
Aapko kaise pata? He asked incredulously.
Hum aapki Dadi hai. Humme sab pata. And this happened while you were at the farm house, right?
Rohan bowed his head in front of Dadimaa. You are the great.
Thanks bete. Ab chaliye batayiye kya problem hai?
Rohan gulped. Aaa.. kuch nai. He laughed awkwardly. We just fought nothing much. Aap, Maan aur Geet ke bare me kuch keh rai thi.
Dadimaa eyed his grandson skeptically but couldn't contain her excitement when Maan n Geet were mentioned. Haan. Things are different between them since they came back from farm house.
Accha?? Rohan hadn't noticed, too much involved in his own mess. But now after seeing his Dadimaa's over enthusiastic face he knew that his plan had actually worked. Why wouldn't it be? After all it was Rohan Khurana's plan.
Haan haan, par hua kya akhir farm house me? Dadimaa asked n he wondered if she would ever grow up, sometimes she behaved worse than Jia.
They spend the rainy night in stable. That sentence in itself spoke a lot n Dadimaa clapped her hands, grinning merrily.
Aur wahan kya hua?
Rohan made another face. Dadimaa' He said in an exasperated tone n Dadimaa pouted. Rohan shook his head. You think Maan would tell me the details? Waise bhi when I asked him he said he didn't remember anything which is no surprise because he was drunk.
Oh, Maan is an idiot.
Exactly.
Who is an idiot? Geet asked coming back n now when Rohan thought over Dadimaa words Geet did looked happy n her face had some life back.
Whenever the word 'idiot' is uttered in KM it's only for your husband. Rohan said.
Kyu? Geet demanded almost crossly but realized her slip. Mera matlab hai' itne bhi bewakuf nai hai wo.
The grins on Dadimaa n Rohan's face were mortifying to Geet. Really? They sang in chorus teasingly and Geet blushed the brightest shade of red. Mai wo'wo Jia ko dekh kar aati hu.
Jia was still asleep like half an hour ago when Maan had come to say her goodbye n Geet didn't wake her up. Instead she went downstairs n decided to complete all the works fast she generally did n go to her room created by Maan. She felt excited just by thinking about it. Her room. For the first time it felt something in KM, in the world, really belonged to her.
She completed all work n did all preparations for lunch. By the time she finished Jia had woken up.
Geet gave her bath, dressed n fed her.
Daddy left for office? Jia asked in her sweet childish voice.
Haan baby you were sleeping so he didn't wake you up. The later Jia knew about Maan's trip the better.
Otey. Fart-toon dekhna hai. Geet smiled n switched on the TV.
Her steps were hurried while she walked when Dadimaa stopped her. She could have run away to the room but after a second's thought went to Dadimaa. Aap itni jaldi me kahan jaa rai thi?
Kahin nai Dadimaa. Aapne apni dawai li?
Haan le li beta. Aaiye na saath me baithte hai. They walked to the living room n Geet half heartedly settled down beside Dadimaa. Humse bhi aap kabhi kabhi baat kar lia kariye. Humme toh koi yaad hi nai karta. She made an overdramatic face but Geet took it seriously.
Aisa nai hai Dadimaa.
Arre beta aap toh serious ho gai. Dadimaa patted her cheek. Hum toh bas aapki tang khich rahe the. Wait I will show you something.
Dadimaa asked Nakul to bring an album from her room.
Yeh dekhiye yeh Maan ke bachpan ki photos hai. Dadimaa opened the album. Maan doesn't like anyone seeing these.
The first photo of Maan was when he had just born. He looked so cute. Small-small hands n legs but big eyes and it seemed he was glaring then too. He was in arms of his mother while his Dad was standing beside with a proud smile for the camera. Yeh Maan ke mom dad hai.
After some photos of super cute infant Maan there was a photo of him trying to walk holding finger of his mother. His mother was beautiful and she looked lively not like his father who appeared strict by first view n Maan had her eyes. Maan ki maa' Maan ne kabhi unke bare me zayada baat nai ki.
Haan. When Maan was 7 she got divorce n married another guy. At that tender age it was difficult for Maan to cope her with her absence. Even after he grew up a bit he couldn't digest that she left him n stopped talking about her completely. He never talked to her when she called, became a recluse but after you came in his life he changed. You remember when you were small I had met you in Ujwal Academy. You were so cute. Geet grinned, remembering those days.
Where is she now? Geet asked referring to Maan's mother.
Don't know? She was in Scotland a few years ago, after that no idea. Yeh wali photo dekhiye. Dadimaa laughed. It was a picture of Maan n Rohan fighting; the difference was they were fighting with the hands not just words.
By the time they finished seeing the album more than an hour had passed. Dadimaa mai yeh album rakh lu?
Haan bilkul. Bas Maan se bacha ke rakhiyega isse. Dadimaa left for her room n Geet finally could go to her secret destination.
Geet checked all the drawers in Maan's room but the keys were nowhere to be seen. She was hell frustrated n scared now. What if Maan took the keys with him? That couldn't happen. She needed to go to that room. Only a few minutes there n the room had made a home in her heart. She felt like she needed to go there to breathe.
Finally she found the keys in his cupboard n literally ran to the room on third floor. Closing the door she switched on the lights like last time. The room was there; she sighed with relief as if it could have disappeared overnight. Familiar feeling of elation, belonging n also his pain washed over as she walked towards her guitar. It was hers she knew, the texture of wood just the same under her touch. She settled on the bed forgetting everything else n struck a string. To her surprise it was nearly tuned. Minor disturbance because of being kept idle for days otherwise it was tuned. She adjusted the tuning n the sound now was perfect, melodious' ringing in her ear, reaching directly to her soul. In these six years she never played guitar not even touched one but this was her guitar, her partner through all the lights n gloom.
She remembered about the letter. After kissing the guitar like a child and keeping it aside, she opened the letter sitting on the bed with a thousand questions in her mind.
Geet,
If you are reading this letter it means you are in your room.
I have no doubt that someday you would come to this room that is why I will ask Dadimaa to keep the letter there only. Maan would never go there until old wounds are healed so my words to you are safe.
It's feeling so weird writing a letter like this. I am sure it's quite weird for you too reading a letter from someone who has died years ago. Knowing your death is near is no less absurd, scary even. We surely live in a strange world, aren't we? I am talking in riddles because I don't know from where to start. How to tell you of the sins I have committed? How to make you understand that I was helpless? But if I didn't do this I couldn't go peacefully, I am already breaking, every second with this weight on my heart n life is slipping away. I have many corrections to make and this letter is my last n only step towards'..
Andar kaun hai? Geet stood up scared at the sudden voice but realized it was Nakul. She opened the door.
Agar Maan Sir ko pata chal gaya ke aap yahan aai thi toh bahut gadbad ho jayegi.
Please don't tell him. Geet pleaded.
Haan mai nai bataoga. Your friend Meera is here to meet you.
Meera had not come to meet her or even called after last time when she had again come to persuade her to go with her. They'd had a big fight n then she had stormed off. Geet nodded, locked the door but this time she didn't leave the letter in room n took it with her. Keeping it safely n hidden in her room she went to meet her best friend.
